Lesson learned from wk111:
We gotta get out of the fucking house more guys and girls!
Go code on a fucking beach or a park or something. Drink some beers and wine. Smoke a couple of joints with good friends.6 -
My Perfect Day : Assumption
Woke up at 6. Went for morning walk or do yoga or some sort of stuff.
Came back at 7. Went for daily routine, like bathing and all.
Went to prepare breakfast at 7:45. Prepared some eggs and bread and coffee.
It is 8:15 now. Reading news papers or watching tv and doing breakfast.
At 9 check mails and prepare some stuff.
At 9: 30 went for office. Reached office 5 minute before 10, safe and sound.
Came back at 7 by evening. Did some rest. Prepare dine till 9. Take a bath. Complete the dine.
At 10:30 ready to sleep.
Actual Scenario :
Woke up at 8:30. No time for yoga or morning walk. No time for preparing breakfast as well. Went straight to bathroom. Came back in 20 minutes. Made a cup of coffee. No time for newspaper or tv.
Feeling lazy and tired already. At 9:10 went for office. Before reaching office stopped at fast food joints. buy some junk food. Eat them. Got traffic jam and reached office late.
Started working but feeling lazy. Boss asked twice about the project status and i am unable to think a single line of code.
However, days passed. Boss scolded me. I promised him to finish the work after reaching home.
Reached home at 7:30. Late for no reason. Went straight to bed. Sleeps a hour. But took 20 minutes to leave bed.
Started working on projects i did not complete in the office.
Time fly and it is already 1 in morning. No dinner. Tired as fuck but hungry as well. So made some eggs and eat. Wrapped the task but it is 3:30 in morning and i jumped to bed for sleep.

PM: What are you going to do today?
Expected-
Me: execute some junits.
Actual-
Me: execute some joints.

This Chinesium power supply looks disgusting 😷 I have no idea what shit this manufacturer put their hands into when they built this piece of garbage (that nonetheless works without blowing up, go figure) but it's all sticky 😐 I want to clean it up before putting it into a new enclosure, but I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner and don't really feel like desoldering all the components and giving it a washing. Are there any other cleaning options that are inexpensive and don't damage the components or the solder joints? Pure alcohol perhaps?

Just took out my four wisdom teeth at once. I can't feel my face, I look like a balloon and I'm drooling like I'm about to eat a delicious cake.
Except the cake is a fucking lie, my mandibular joints are hurting and I can't eat solids for a week.
At least I only have one postoperative to contend with. Hurray! 🙃6 -
If anyone has read any of my posts before you may know, they're usually of a certain... Shall we say, dark, nature?
Well this possibly represents one of the darkest things I've imagined (with regards to technology and programming) I've had.
I was asked if I want to be buried or cremated when I die and they seem so... Pedestrian and I thought long and hard about what would be a fitting way to honour my life and what to do with my remains and it came to me...
I want my flesh to be only partially treated with formaldehyde so chunks of me rot away and others don't.
I want my skeletal structure to be replace with titanium rods with actuators and servo motors where my joints would have been with an internal gyroscope to assist with balance and my corpse will be installed with some sort of IOT controller board with on board wifi.
The companion smart phone app will allow my partially rotting cybernetic zombie corpse to be driven around by a bored grave yard grounds keeper while kids are doing LSD pretending they're all that.
Make them really believe the apocalypse has begun and the dead have risen.
I could be a whole thing for future corpse disposal too.
"Smart corpses, for the loved one who will be more intelligent in death than they were in life."
Although that's probably a bit too harsh...7 -
After weeks of burning the candle at both ends you finally get a good night's sleep.
You wake up and either have a skin condition or a beard had grown and you didn't notice. All joints sound like a bowl of rice crispies when you move and you're seriously beginning to identify with Rip Van Winkle. -
How resource calculations for software services like code analysis, monitoring, etc are done:
Opening fridge, putting all the beer one can find in it.
Opening the necessary tools, e.g Excel, Accounting software, ....
Drinking the first beer.
Starting to aggregate the monthly costs - cause you can never trust the reports written by someone else...
First beer poof.
Looking at the monthly cost, adding columns "Intended use", "Actual usage pattern", "Usage factor"...
Opening next beer...
Usage factor is btw a factor of 0.1 ... 1.0 - to give an estimate how much the products feature are actually used, for further analysis if the invest is justified or not...
Oh. Another half bottle gone...
Filling in the columns...
Oh. Bottle empty and the next one toooooooooooooooo...
*burping*
*cracking finger joints*
Now let's get to the sad part...
Next worksheet, adding infrastructure costs...
Cost and description as columns.
Hehe. Column sounds like gollum.
Another beer...
Ugh. Need the paper reports, manually typing off things for stuff that was e.g. tax deductible.
Many beers die during this task. Poor little beers, dying for such an boring and mundane task...
SUM is a real useful function. I don't think I can add numbers anymore.
Now we can add another sheet.
Hehe. Sheet sounds like shit. And yes, everything in this file is shit.
Summing up costs from both sheets and including the cost factor from 1
... Beeeeeeeer Beeeeer beer we need more beer here... Beer beer beer...
Where was I. Oh yeah. Cost factorization total vs effective.
Why do I want to get even more drunk.
Oh yeah. Most software is completely underused and the costs aren't justified.
Let's add some colored highlighting ...
Uuuuh. ,Too much red. Better change the highlights.
Too much red.
More beer.
Don't give a fuck.
Hm.
Time for some whiskey.
What else is there to do....
Oh yeah.
Diagrams.
The bloody wankers from accounting need diagrams as numbers are too boring.
Not that everything in accounting is boring, no matter how much you paint colors on it... *sigh*
Hm. More whiskey...
Hehe. Whiskey rhymes with frisky.
Uff. Now just need to write mail. Mail mail mail....
"Copy paste the last mail from last month"
Hm.
Ah.
*sipping whiskey*
Spell check extension - to the rescue.
Thesaurus *burps*.
Let's change a few words here and there... Maybe another paragraph there.
Uh....
Trying to attach file...
*fucking mouse is pretty constantly crashing into empty beer bottles*
Done.
Damn.
Need to press send button.
*Creating mess on the desk by just randomly crashing the beer bottles*
Done.
*Pressing computers power button*
Mwahahahaha. No mouse needed.
*regretting to stand up too quickly, nearly barfing on the floor*
Couch ... Where Couch...
After hitting several doors, frames and other stuff, the glorious mission ended successfully with a most graciously executed gut buster on the couch.
(Regretting next morning to have emptied two 6 packs and a few glasses of whiskey) -
Tin whiskers grow on solder joints and make shorts. They’re real, and they kill a lot of electronics.
The only known cure is adding lead to the solder, but modern standards only allow lead-free solder prone to tin whiskers. Leaded solder is the reason that early computers are still operational today.
Petition to allow medical equipment manufacturers to use leaded solder! Life support shorting out and burning in the middle of the night will kill the patient.6 -
Our DB teacher always told us about God (Codd) doin some Join(t)s. He spoke very slowly. Must have been kinda disturbing for normal people...

😂 I think my laptop has been lighting up my joints. Everytime I power it off from the terminal (Fedora) it restarts...2

to me, japanese means unsophisticated. Idk whose idea all that weeb propaganda was, but:
- traditional japanese art: too simple, no sense of perspective, no sense of proportion. yes, even the great wave. look at any japanese painting pre-20th century, and then at any european renaissance-era painting. If you prefer the former, you're fucking blind
- when you eat, you sit on the floor like a caveman. you eat with two sticks. really? how hard was it to invent a fucking fork?
- traditional japanese furniture is trash. why all those complicated joints that look horribly after one year of use, especially if it's outdoors? don't you have nails or screws?
- sashimi is just uncooked sliced fish.
- cars are ugly and too basic. modern ones are unreliable too. the only way to make a gas car reliable is to overbuild it. volvo red blocks were indestructible because they operated at 8-12% of their horsepower limit compared to mechanical strength. take any engine, cut its horsepowers to one tenth of what it's capable of, and you'll get a reliable engine. it doesn't take any engineering talent. yes, there are foot guns, but if you're not doing crazy shit, you belong in this framework.
- no good software
- ugly, horror vacui websites and interfaces
- everything is so fucking crude
- nintendo is the same old mario crap repackaged again and again
- anime is the same basic plot again and again, just slop at this point.
- same with all gacha games
- it's all either cartoonish or borderline porn, with few exceptions
- no good porcelain (that's china and france, then soviet union)
weebs will say that it's okay, it's minimalism, and that I just don't get it.
if you want to sell something to weebs, take anything, make it 10x the price, and say that it came from japan, and every shortcoming is intentional. boom, done.
post-ww2 japan is a US colony that exists because of US money. The day US money is gone, japan will become china.
you need engineering, you go to germany. you need sophistication, you go to france. you need affordability and scale, you go to china.
japanese pm was assassinated in 2022 with a homemade pipe gun like it's 19th century or something. japanese minister in charge of IT doesn't know what a flash drive is and doesn't use a computer. Also, name a country with $54k+ GDP per capita that has so big of a problem with work culture that "death because of working too much" is a separate short word, that's how often it's used?11
